VMware Appliance (OVA) enhancements #387
Comments
Hi Timo, thanks for your feedback. We can add this feature for sure ;) |
@tsugliani i'm not confortable keeping password and ssh keys in the ovf props like in this exemple: |
Password is not shown in vCenter UI/API, with the For the ssh public key, that is meant to be public, so not sure why that is a problem ? You could use the same setting as the password above for the ssh key so it doesn't appear in the UI/API if that feels like an issue. Even GitHub/GitLab shares your public keys, for example my registered one is here:
Hope this makes sense. |
Didn't know about the hidden password setting and you're right we dont care about public keys, i'm too paranoid :D |
Hi gents,
It would be amazing to add to the available ovf properties, the ability to setup the appliance root password AND setup a ssh key too. (if those are not set, just use the current default password so it doesn't change the current behavior)
This feature is provided by many appliances these days, and would be a great addition :-)
I do this on my packer templates too for reference: https://github.com/tsugliani/packer-alpine
OVF properties: https://github.com/tsugliani/packer-alpine/blob/main/files/customization.sh#L32-L33
